Irina Shayk proves she deserves an award for being the most supportive girlfriend as she was present to watch and applaud her beau’s final performance for “The Elephant Man” stage play at the London’s Royal Haymarket Theater on August 8. Bradley Cooper has just wrapped up a 12-week run of the famous stage play.
The Daily Mail spotted the Russian beauty with a friend while waiting for a cab, wearing a flowing stone-colored dress that ultimately highlighted her perfectly toned legs. The Swimsuit Illustrated model opted for a more chic look as she partnered her dress with a pair of nude sandals, a white bag and wore her hair down.
Last month, the 29-year-old model was able to squeeze in some quality time with her boyfriend despite her busy schedule in Paris for the annual Paris Fashion Week. During the posh event, Shayk was joined by pals Bar Rafaeli and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley among others who graced the event at the French capital.
Shayk has become a constant sighting in the English capital ever since Cooper has stayed there temporarily for his commitments to the West End. The Victoria Secret model has been seen plenty of times with Bradley and some friends usually at London’s famous hotspot, the Chiltern Firehouse.
It looks like things between the two are getting really serious. E! News has reported that the pair are already talking about having kids. A source tells the outlet that both of them want to have kids someday and that the two are indeed having conversations about starting a family. Design & Trend reports that the couple’s friends and families are in full support of their relationship, adding that the two are a clearly match made in heaven.
The lovebirds should thank actor Leonardo DiCaprio for introducing them to each other. Since they’ve been spotted getting cozy last May, Shayk and Cooper have been inseparable, being photographed kissing and canoodling mostly in London.
Cooper has been hard at work for the past three months, dedicating his time with his portrayal as circus star Joseph Merrick. Written by playwright Bernard Pomerance and directed by Scoot Ellis, “The Elephant Man” is based on the true-to-life story of Mr. Merrick and follows his time as part of a travelling circus, his friendship with Dr. Teves, and his growing relationship with Ms. Kendal.
The 40-year-old actor joins Patricia Clarkson as Ms. Kendal and Alessandro Nivola as Dr. Frederick Teves in the British production. The “Hangover” star opted to stay away from prosthetics and instead contorted his face and body to convey Merrick’s physical deformities, which led to the actor having facial twitches as a side effect, which he admitted in a BBC radio program last May.
Bradley’s performance has been highly commended for his challenging role in the play. Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, and Ellie Goulding are just among the many famous personalities who have expressed their praises for the star’s portrayal as Merrick.
The “American Sniper” star was all smiles for photographs on the evening of August 8 and gamely signed autographs for fans who eagerly waited outside the theater house as he goes out of the establishment for the very last time. According to The Daily Mail, Cooper held a grand after-party in his Marylebone suite which went on until the early hours of August 9.
Ms. Shayk on the other hand, has recently turned heads with her latest print ads for Love Republic’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection. The runway stunner has worked with photographer Mateusz Stankiewicz for the campaign and looked incredibly gorgeous in a series of form-fitting and flesh-exposing garments.
On Instagram, Irina shares that among the classic dresses she wore for her latest photoshoot, the red sleeveless and silky dress was her favorite as the Russian native loves the colors because it ultimately compliments her skin tone.
